Saudia, the national flag carrier of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, has topped the list of global airlines for on-time performance, according to a report by the independent aviation tracking site Cirium for June 2024.
The report indicates that Saudia achieved an on-time arrival rate of 88.22% and an on-time departure rate of 88.73%, operating 16,133 flights across its network of over 100 destinations on four continents. This achievement is particularly notable given that June is a peak travel month due to the Hajj and summer travel seasons.
In addition to its global recognition, Saudia's punctuality is especially commendable in its operations in Bangladesh. The airline’s commitment to maintaining high on-time performance standards has been instrumental in ensuring reliable connections between major Bangladeshi cities and Saudi Arabia.
This not only enhances travel convenience for passengers but also strengthens the economic and cultural ties between Bangladesh and Saudi Arabia. Engr. Ibrahim Al-Omar, Director General of Saudia Group, highlighted, “This accomplishment is a realization of our strategic goals to enhance operational efficiency and quality through continuous improvements in flight scheduling and the implementation of the best digital solutions and systems for operations management. ”
